Default Trouser related deaths
On Saturday night I was told that more people die each year in trouser related mishaps than in plane crashes. Surely this is a load of bollocks??

Difficult to say as the ONS actually stopped issuing those kind of stats a few years back but yes, the last time they did - Trousers did come-out as surprisingly dangerous!

Think it was @2000-2002 when they stopped.

Think I do remember something about people cooking in their nighties or PJ's being the most lethal of all. About 5 times more likley than smoking.

Did they adjust the figures in accordance with the official Trouser Index of Tightness Scale, which is a sliding scale, of course.

I've heard this aswell. It's due to people in a rush to get to work in the morning and they try to put on their trousers at the top of the stairs and tumble to their death.

It's less common nowadays, but in the 1930s, when young blades wore trousers with massive turn-ups there were a fair amount of deaths when cyclists thought it would be handy to keep their books in their turn-ups. Obviously this caused control problems, and a lot had accidents as a result.

At first the police blamed drink, but when they found out the truth it was a real turn-up for the books.

Then in the 70s a few folk died horribly of burns when they got their 'flares' confused.

As soon as I saw this thread I knew it was fertile ground for a Cynic pun fest.

Apparently in France trouser related deaths aren't just restricted to males - they also happen cullotes to women.

I think ALL women who wear trousers should be punished by death.....especially if they're wearing stone-washed denims.

Jeanocide I'd call it.


One for Bob Bouma.....did you hear about the Dutch slideguitarist who tripped over his bell-bottoms and 'broek' his back?
